The Trials & Tribulations of Trying to Conceive when its just not happening (12m+)

purcy81

Another lurker here I lurk everywhere I can't help myself! I've been keeping an eye on the conversation on the other thread and boy is it strange, I've just about managed to restrain myself from posting but it got a bit close there for a second!

I don't know who was saying about things not ringing true but I get that feeling too and have since the first appearance on the ttc thread. I find it so hard to believe that someone could ttc a child there was a 50% chance they wouldn't want. If I get my happy ending this time you can be sure I couldn't care less whether I have to buy pink clothes or blue.

anyway sorry for thread hopping just wanted to lend my voice to the general outrage. Sending biggest hugs to all you ladies I really do miss you all and wish you a happy and successful 2014 xx

Hello
Do you mind if I join you on here?

I've given up sharing how I feel with my RL friends as lovely as they are they just don't get it and think I should just 'enjoy trying' coz that's the fun part oh and 'just relax' and it will happen yada yada yada

Anyway a little about me.....
Got married and started ttc 2009 finally conceived in May 2011 but mc at 7 weeks shortly after was diagnosed with breast cancer so thought that was game over. After treatment was on hormone tablets for a year then decided to come off them to see if I could still ttc. Been trying again for 6 months now with no luck yet.

Cycles have been all over the place but seem to be regulating again had blood tests for progesterone and fsh? Levels which came back normal so there is still hope I think but it's emotional

I also only have one ovary due to a hernia as a baby so another challenge I guess but I won't give up!

Was hopefully this month as think I had clear sign of ov around cd13 so was due on Xmas eve, af still not arrived but have done numerous tests and all bfns so think I'm just having another long cycle after all

Welcome SSQ. Believe me we never get tired of chatting about TTC here.

Let me know if you want to do a quick summary and be added to the front page. You can read there and see people who are in similar positions to give you an idea. I'm TTC post cervical cancer, and I know a number of ladies outside this thread who are also trying after cancer.

Merry Christmas to everyone. I've been keeping up but just on the phone so not posting anything. Can't believe I have to go back to work tomorrow!

Baby names book does sound like the winner of the worst present. But, perhaps it was given in the spirit of optimism, as in - this year will be our year!

I seem to remember that the poster in question posted a few ott things after her wedding too - she got married a few months before we did - so I think she might actually just be crazy.

Welcome sadshoequeen. Hope your stay here is short.

Has anyone else done the 10 week wee tests? I was supposed to do them a few days after AF arrived but I keep forgetting and I need to use FMU. Can I start tomorrow or do I have to wait for the next AF? Confused. I wish they'd never given me the stupid provera.

Welcome sadshoequeen. Hello all lovely ladies *waves*

Sorry for your BFN PM. Star - what on earth was your OH thinking? Was it a "positive thinking" present?

Sadshoequeen

Thank you for the welcome

Time2deal could you add my summary to front

Age 39 originally TTC #1 2009, mc may 2011, breastcancer diagnosis aug 2011, TTC again since July 2013 think ovulating but maybe randomly as one ovary, fsh levels fine. Next step: unsure

Saw a couple today with their son - looked about 7 - teaching him to ride a bike in the park without stabilisers.

Dad was shouting in the son's face and shaking the bike handles aggressively shouting "STOP WORRYING ABOUT YOUR HANDS". Mom stood on, just watching passively.

I just thought, that poor kid. Why bother teaching him to ride the bike if you're going to be like that? That kid will probably remember that for the rest of his life.

Some people don't deserve children.

Oh I also hate to see 'awful parent'displays
Today in a shopping centre watched as a woman practically dragged her child then picked her up just by her arm while dad shouted at her poor lil kid there was no need for it

Hi shoequeen, I hope your stay here is short.

Code after reading her posts it was the first I wanted to reach through the Internet and punch someone. Zero consideration for anyone else and then demanding everyone else provide sympathy & support.

Hugs PM, I really hoped your first BFN was wrong. When is your FS back from holiday?
